From the Inside Flap
An enormously rich and learned study, displaying vast erudition. Edwards brings together surprising intersectionssetting Wharton in Morocco with Gide, for example to re-order our understanding of travel under the sign of eros. Edwardss wide range takes us from Melvilles South Pacific to the Harlem Renaissance. In this important revisionary study, race and gender play a crucial role in a history and taxonomy of travel narratives. Impressive and definitive, this work is required reading for new Americanists.Robert K. Martin, University of Montreal
